Declassified Pentagon Files Reveal UAP Sightings in Oklahoma City
Recent releases of Pentagon files include mention of UAP sightings in Oklahoma City, sparking renewed interest in the phenomena.
The Pentagon has released a new set of declassified files detailing sightings of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), the contemporary term for UFOs. Among these documents are notable mentions of sightings in Oklahoma City, adding a historical layer to the ongoing intrigue surrounding UAPs.
This recent disclosure, which is part of a broader initiative ordered earlier this year, reveals instances from both the past and more recent times. In particular, Oklahoma City is referenced in two separate files released on May 22 and May 8, 2026.
One intriguing case dates back to July 1947, when Byron Savage, a private pilot, reported observing a perfectly round and flat object moving across the sky faster than any jet-propelled aircraft of the time. His account was significant enough to be investigated by the FBI and Army Air Forces Intelligence.
Another instance from 1958 involves a resident named James Maney, who wrote to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover inquiring about the reality of flying disc reports. Hoover's response indicated that while the FBI did not investigate UFOs, Maney could contact the Air Force's Office of Special Investigations for more information.
These historical accounts are now complemented by more recent video footage, captured by military cameras, showing unidentified objects labeled as UAPs by the U.S. military. These clips form part of the over 50 video files released, highlighting the enduring mystery and public fascination with UAPs.
